When Legendary Trainer Tim Grover Spilled Beans on Michael Jordan's Mental Game; DETAILS Inside
Grover spilled beans on MJ's trash-talk strategy
Grover also revealed the true story of Jordan's legendary trash-talking skills. The trainer claimed that the North Carolina product didn't use derogatory language to taunt his opponents. It served as his means of self-motivation.
Grover added, "He was known as one of the biggest trash talkers. But he didn't trash talk to get into the opponent's head. He would trash talk to get into his head, because now whatever he said, he had to go out and back it up."
One well-known instance was when he began counting backwards against Steve Smith, starting at 40. When Michael Jordan blurted out "38" after draining a jumper, the guard was initially perplexed as to why. That all made sense, though, when Mike said "36" following yet another basket. That night, Jordan wanted to burn him with a 40-piece.
